x86/alternatives: Remove faulty optimization

The following commit

  095b830 ("x86/alternative: Make custom return thunk unconditional")

made '__x86_return_thunk' a placeholder value.  All code setting
X86_FEATURE_RETHUNK also changes the value of 'x86_return_thunk'.  So
the optimization at the beginning of apply_returns() is dead code.

Also, before the above-mentioned commit, the optimization actually had a
bug It bypassed __static_call_fixup(), causing some raw returns to
remain unpatched in static call trampolines.  Thus the 'Fixes' tag.
